After the strong winds of the last few days one of the Jacarandas (Jacaranda mimosifolia) fell over breaking the main root.
Planted in June 2000 the tree has not grown very well – at the time of falling over it was only a bit over 1 metre high with very little root system and only the one main branch. The main issue seems to be the wind but it has always been a lot smaller than the other one growing next to it.
It has been repotted in the hope of keeping it alive and perhaps planting it in a more sheltered spot.
